    Default Segmented Turnings

    I started woodturning around 2002 and over the years tried different ideas with spindle turning and bowl turning from blanks, then i started to experiment with segmented turnings and these are some of the results i would like to share with members and guests.

    I think Jim is being just a little sarcastic.

    Excellent work.

    Only 3 posts since joining the forum in 2009, but you certainly know how to make a good impression. The one on the right has me a little intrigued, any chance of a couple more pics of it please.
    I rather like the sailing boat one.

    No, I am not being a little sarcastic at all, I happen to know Peter very well and he does really nice work. I know he has some more very good work.

    Alan, thank you for your comments, the first two photos are part of the original posting plus one more bowl using the bowls from a board concept.
    Thank you to those who have posted positive comments.

    Thank you for the extra photos Peter. The ones looking down into the bowl are spectacular, still trying to get my head around how you assembled it. As Jim said, it must look awesome in the flesh.

    Happy gluing,

    Alan...

    Peter Z,

    I think the more abstract arrangement of the segments as in post 8 are just wonderful. Your workmanship is impeccable. Thanks for showing us your work.

    I have to agree with the "awesome".

    There must be something in the water up there in Mareeba and Edmonton - does it come in segments too!
